The in vivo function of MCP-1 was further examined in five MCP-1 transgenic mouse models(Table 1).36–40In a model in which MCP-1 was expressed in the epidermis(model 1)or several organs at high levels(model 2),no monocyte infiltrates were observed in MCP-1-expressing organs.Instead,the numbers of dendritic cells and Langerhans cells were increased in model 1.By contrast,in models 3,4 and 5,in which MCP-1expression was targeted to a specific organ,such as the thymus or central nervous system(model 3),type II alveolar epithelial cells in the lung(model 4)or pancreatic islets(model 5),respectively,monocyte infiltration was detected at MCP-1-producing sites;however,there was no sign of monocyte activation or tissue damage associated with the activation of monocytes.Interestingly,additional phenotypes were observed when mice were given exogenous stimuli.Contact hypersensitivity reactions to 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene were enhanced in the skin(model 1),and inflammatory responses in the lung upon intravenous(i.v.)injection of LPS or yeast wall glucan were also enhanced(model 4).When model 5 mice were crossed with model 2 mice,the resulting mice showed no monocyte infiltration,indicating that high systemic MCP-1levels could prevent blood monocytes from responding to locally produced MCP-1.From these observations,it can be concluded that blood monocytes infiltrate tissues in response to local production,perhaps a low level of MCP-1,and then differentiate into macrophages in loco.However,their fate,whether they become immune-activating(M1)or suppressing(M2)macrophages,is likely determined by other mediators present at the sites.
